SAVE is, once again, offering an Environmental Scholarship to any Saugus resident who is graduating high school and pursuing a degree in any field which would benefit the environment. Please see attached application for further information.2017.SAVE.Scholarship.Application (1)

Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE) will hold another “It’s New To You” SWAP on Saturday, September 24, 2016, from 10 am to 1 pm at Breakheart Reservation.

SAVE, the Friends of Breakheart, and DCR have joined together once again to help keep still-usable items out of the waste stream. This free, no-money event will be held in conjunction with BREAKHEART’S FALL FESTIVAL and is open to one and all. Feel free to bring usable items in good condition to the swap, or simply come by and browse – you may find something you can use.

Again, this is a FREE event, no money, just a simple swap. You can bring items or take items, you do nothave to do both. Bring usable items in good condition to the SWAP, typically those things you no longer want but that are too good to throw away, and perhaps find a treasure or two to take home with you. (Please, we ask that you do not bring items that require special disposal.)

Residents are also encouraged to bring your worn-out sneakers or athletic shoes (any brand) for drop-off in our recycling bin for the Nike Reuse-a-Shoe program. The donated shoes will be ground up and purified to become a material called Nike Grind. The material will eventually become part of sports surfacing products ranging from basketball and tennis courts to fitness flooring and safety playground surfacing. This is an easy way for each of us to continue our recycling efforts and further reduce our carbon footprint.

Join the Saugus Tree Committee and SAVE as we celebrate Earth Day/Arbor Day 2016 with our Spring Tree Maintenance and Planting at the Saugus Tree Farm on Saturday, April 30th from 9:00 – 3:00 – (stay as long or as short as you like). Located off Jasper Street, Saugus.

The Tree Committee needs your help, and this is a great project for students to complete community service as a graduation requirement.
People are advised to wear work clothes and bring some work gloves, a hat, boots (as it may be muddy, and sunscreen/bug spray. If you have trowels, shovels or hoes, please bring them along. (light refreshments provided)
